Oil and gasoline futures don’t look a lot different than a week ago, as the situation in Venezuela seems to have settled down a bit. But, it is going to be all-Iraq, all the time in the media this week. If it wasn’t for that, I would predict with confidence that prices would drift down to $1.39 by this weekend. Instead, I will predict with less confidence that prices will drift down to $1.39, so that the next price hike won’t be until next week at the earliest. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! On Tuesday, the price went up to $1.59 all over town.

The name of the site is based off an essay Ed wrote for the Grand Rapids Press titled "The Gas Game". The current website was established later by Patrick DeHaan after he and Ed predicted gas price hikes on GasBuddy's website GrandRapidsGasPrices.com, as well as Ed’s personal web page.

Note: To be precise, add 9/10 of a cent to all prices described on this web page.
